There is life after iRacing, I promise! ;-)

I feel like I left a cult. I miss it a lot, and yet I don't miss it at all. :->

It's only been a month though. I will no doubt struggle to resist the lure of the
iRacing forums (which I miss far more than the racing) if they throw a cheap "come
back!" offer at me.

To be more serious, one thing I really don't like about iRacing is the way it's
sucked so many of sim racing's core online voices behind the iRacing firewall.
There's more activity -- both good and bad, useful and merely entertaining -- on
the iRacing forums than in all the other sim racing forums put together. I feel at
home among so many familiar names there, but I don't feel at home as a member of
the iRacing service.

My loss, I guess.

I'm not sure whether NKPro is tied to your email address. I've had the same address
since buying 1.1, and I've only ever had to copy my NKPro folder from Documents
when I've reinstalled.

Without the Trento climb I'd have stopped using NKPro again by now, because I
really don't care about online racing, and the lack of AI limits the fun. However
spending hours trying to learn Trento led me to explore a few more tracks and I've
now fallen in sim-lust with the version of Brands Hatch done for NKPro. It really
is rather good, and I even prefer it to iRacing's... it's "grittier" and more
immersive (for me) even though it obviously isn't as technically realistic as
iRacing's.

It's a head v heart thing. My head tells me iRacing's version is better. But my
heart tells me I'm at Brands Hatch in NKPro.

Anyway, I'm sure NKPro is still pretty much useless if you're looking for an online
alternative to iRacing. Love it or hate it, iRacing offers regular racing.
